guys I need help. . . 1 Year ago  
Ok so guys I posted here bout 2weeks ago about getting passanger floor boards and a luggage rack that bolts to my sissy bar. Well I got the boards thanks to keithi. But no luck on the rack. So I went and ordered one from the dealer. Than two days later (today) I get a call from them saying the luggage rack is on back order for a very long time. So know im kinda screwed lol my trip is in 3 weeks and I absoutley need one to hold my big bag, I got from jay (ultrastar). So does anyone else have any other ideas as to where I can get one or maybe anyone have one on hand they wanna part with.

There was one for sale over on the Road Star Riders forum, but it looks like it sold. You might want to check out the for sale section over there.

There's a couple yami ones on ebay. The one attaches to the sissybar and the one for the quick realease sissy bar. Bout $120 each, if you want a yami and in a hurry. Theres also a few aftermarket ones that may work for about half that.
